Illinois becomes the next state in the US to get its very own Apple Store as Apple opens its 5th retail unit in Woodfield. Woodfield is 25 miles north of Chicago, and the store will be located in the Woodfield Mall. From Appleis Web page on the new store:

Welcome to Woodfield Mall, site of the first Apple store in Illinois. Located in Schaumburg, about 25 miles northwest of Chicago, the new Apple store gives you a chance to try the latest Apple hardware and Macintosh software. All Macs on display have Internet access and cool accessories plugged in, so you can see just how easy they are to use.

Apple has a page set up with a map, directions, store hours, and other information. The store will be opening at 10:00 AM tomorrow morning, and the lines will no doubt start at 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM in the morning. If you want to be one of the first people in to see the store, it would be best to show up early. If you are going to the store opening, have fun for us.
